The designer was known for creating romantic and ultra-glamorous clothing for countless Hollywood women and—perhaps most notably—many First Ladies, including Betty Ford, Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan, Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.

Mrs. Obama recently donned one of his gowns at a White House event for fashion students.

Other A-List stars including Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Garner were also fans of his work.

The designer, who was born in the Dominican Republic in July of 1932, showcased his Spring 2015 collection on the runway at New York Fashion Week this September.
